Clarification for ALL the talent shows-GRADES-Dress Down info.

We have several talent shows notifications going around-emails, one on our marquee etc. Here is the 411 on that: Q1 will be holding a talent show tomorrow morning. To participate in this talent show, you had to apply and receive an email back from the school.  Our grade will be attending from 9:45-10:30. Very few Forth graders will participate. If you didn’t receive an email, you didn’t make the cut. There aren’t very many spots open for this show. Tuesday, Q2 is holding a talent show for the Jr. High kids. If you have a kiddo over there, you have been receiving those email too.

The Fourth Grade team will be having our very own talent show. We are holding it for an hour over two days. Wednesday and Thursday from 9-10. Our talent show is very informal. The audience will only be Fourth Graders and their parents/guardians. This is an opportunity for “ALL” (who want to) of the kids to participate. They can even show some art! Their performance will be limited to 2 minutes each. We have an electric piano to use for our pianists. I will help them project their art onto the screen that day. All other props they need for their performance, will need to be brought from home. I can get their music for them too. Music MUST be clean, child age appropriate music. If your child would like to participate, have them tell me. AGAIN, this is very informal but it would be fun to see them in a costume, dance uniform, etc. They will need to change into approved dress down clothes afterwards.

ALL of our testing is done and their grades are in the system! Report Cards are available on-line. The school will be sending an email out explaining how to access these. I make mistakes, let me know if you see one 😉

This is a fun summer activity, my daughter participated in it last year.

Lastly, tomorrow is a $1  DRESS DOWN DAY. Last one on the year! Next week, is FREE DRESS DOWN ALL WEEK. IT IS SHORT DAY ALL WEEK TOO!

Summer Reading Programs

Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 2.22.44 PMScreen Shot 2019-05-17 at 2.17.58 PM
Here’s the link:
https://www.utahstatefair.com/readandwin  



Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 2.31.04 PMWeber County Summer Program

The below link is for the Weber County Summer Program, all they have to do is register & start reading.  🙂
I also talked to the kiddo’s about downloading ebooks & audiobooks from the library system, here is the link for that as well.
Once they click on the link above, they can choose what app to download for the ebooks or audiobooks.  I use the overdrive app & it works great.  This is a fabulous resource for those who cannot make it to the libraries over the summer.  

Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 2.33.23 PM
Barnes & Noble.  This is a great program because all the students have to do is read 8 books, record the title & author on a journal & take the journal into the store once completed & they get to choose a free book.  They’ve changed it a bit this year, only accepting the journals in the month of August but they’ve also given a great list of books to read for the summer by age group.  I would appreciate you posting this on your blogs when you have time.

ALL devices will be brought to my classroom in the morning and dropped off. Nothing is allowed outside during recess. The kids will play with them from 11:30-12:00, and 1:00-1:20.
